Meet Melissa Finkel

How are you involved in education?

I am a Formative Assessment Specialist with the Maryland State Department of Education. I’m a former Montgomery County English and Theater teacher, Theater Director, and Forensics coach. I have a background in communications and policy and a passion for integrating tech into the classroom/BYOD.

Have you ever attended an edcamp or unconference before?

No

What do you hope to get out of edcamp MetroDC?

New ideas, tech skills, general invigoration about education.

If you led a session at edcamp MetroDC, what would you present?

I would discuss formative assessment, how people could easily integrate more feedback in their classrooms, and the joys of edtech.
